Chapter 400: Brothers and Sisters in the Middle of the Night
? Chapter 400: Difficult brothers and sisters are frightened in the middle of the night
It is the fourth day that he was captured by this group of Spaniards and sent to this port, and during the four days here, the scene that happened at sea still reappeared in Angel's mind from time to time. Maybe in his heart, there is fright, but more, it should still be doubt.
At the beginning of the captives, she was ready to fight to the death, but the Spanish sailors, who had always been known for their rudeness, although they were not very polite to them, did not embarrass them, and did not 'disturb' the "women" in the captives, which made her surprised and quite gratified.
This is a gentleman's move in two fleets that are hostile to each other. Angel didn't think that the Spaniards had done such a despicable sneak attack, but they were all polite gentlemen. Then the only explanation is that their commander is a nobleman with noble character. Although he has become a prisoner, Angel still has respect for the commander he has never met.
It's a pity that until they were transported to this port, and then in the evening, when they got off the ship and were imprisoned in this place, the noble commander did not 'show up', Angel was a little disappointed, but when he saw his brother's appearance as if he had been greatly insulted, her little caution naturally couldn't be put on the stage and couldn't speak.
Gavin was very angry, no, very angry, and this anger was even more sad than killing him with a single shot. As a defeated captain who asks to meet his defeated enemy, this etiquette of war, both Spanish and Dutch, is embraced. And he repeatedly made such a request, but was coldly rejected by the local government, in his opinion, such a move can only prove that the other party is a complete 'bastard'.
If it weren't for the fact that they treated these captives humanely, Gavin really couldn't bear this breath, if this was spread, his Gavin's reputation would be completely ruined in the future, but fortunately, these people, after they were brought ashore, were all imprisoned separately, so even if he was angry because he was ignored by the other party, except for his sister, there were no other subordinates who saw him look so depressed.
"Brother, what are you going to do with these Spaniards!" Angel leaned over Gavin's side and asked softly, there was no light in the room, and the moonlight was shining through the high window lattice, which seemed a little cold. Angel was in the dark, letting the moonlight shine on her laps, and her two big eyes with long eyelashes were like sapphires in the dark, shining.
"I don't know, perhaps, use us to 'handover' their captives captured by our fleet!" Gavin's voice was deep and deep, and in his opinion, the leader of the other side did not even want to see the face of his own captain, but he treated them with leniency and preferential treatment, and there was only one explanation. As for the Pioneer and the "cargo" on the Pioneer, I am afraid that they are lying quietly on the bottom of the sea at the moment, so it is impossible for the other party to get anything from the Pioneer, so the most valuable thing can only be the value of their own people.
"I thought that being captive was a more frightening thing for me than death, but it seems that God has not abandoned our family!" Angel said dreamily: "Although I don't know where we are now, but just like when I was a child, with my brother by my side, Angel is not afraid at all!" ”
Gavin rubbed her long hair lovingly, and at this moment, Angel was his most precious thing. He absolutely believed that he could do it, and whoever wanted to do Angel bad had to step on his own corpse first.
The sound of footsteps came from the courtyard outside, not the regular "knock" sound of the guards, but the appearance of many people coming in together, very chaotic. The two were startled, looked at each other, and slowly sat up straight. Gavin even brushed his hair with his hand, and then tidied up his messy clothes, his neat appearance was a sign of respect for his opponent and respect for himself.
The voices came from outside, and it seemed that these men began to take the roll call one by one in the room where the captives were held, and by order of the Spanish commander, many people were taken out of the room from their companions, and at this time, a group of fierce soldiers, fully armed, came here to take these people away, and all the captives would never think it was a good thing.
Some began to cry bitterly, others began to curse, no doubt that they thought that they were going to be executed if they were taken out in the middle of the night. But without exception, these passive revolts, in front of the butts of the guns and the backs of the knives, were quickly suppressed, and after a short time, all that remained in the courtyard was the footsteps of the soldiers and the low sobs of the captives, except for the groaning.
A series of footsteps walked towards Gavin and Angel's room, Gavin and Angel Huo stood up, their faces were extremely nervous, at this moment, no matter which of the two siblings was taken away, the remaining one did not want to see.
"Angel!" Gavin pinched Angel's somewhat 'damp' palm, "Promise me, no matter what happens, live well, at least, the bloodline of the Cage family can't be cut off here at this moment!" ”
"Brother!" Angel choked up a little: "I won't let you leave me, what should I do without you!" ”
The door slammed open, and a handsome Spanish officer walked in, holding a snow-white piece of paper in his hand, and he glanced at the paper to look at two men and women who were looking at him with a wary face: "Angel. Cage? ”
"Your Excellency, you are mistaken, you should be looking for Gavin. Cage, Angel. Cage is my sister! Gavin pulled Angel behind his back and stepped forward without hesitation, he wanted to protect his sister.
"Angel. Miss Cage! The officer nodded: "That's right, Captain Gavin, I know you, but we're not looking for you today, Miss Angel, come with me!" ”
"No, if you don't make it clear, Angel won't go there!" Gavin shouted loudly, and when he saw Gavin stabbing him, the two armed soldiers next to the officer raised their rifle butts and wanted to smash them at Gavin.
The officer waved them off: "Believe me, Captain Gavin, if we had ill will towards you, we wouldn't have waited until now, since you have laid down your arms and become our prisoners, then, don't do something that a captive shouldn't do, or I'm afraid I'll have to do something I don't want to do!" ”
The officer's words were very calm, but the calmer they were, the more uneasy Gavin felt, and he even had a feeling that as soon as Angel walked out of the room, he would lose Angel forever.
"Your Excellency, can I know your name and rank?" Gavin took a deep breath to calm himself down.
"Brad, you can call me Captain Brad!"
"Okay, Captain Brad, I'm their captain, whether my people are disarmed or not, I'm their commander, so, whatever you do, as long as it involves my people, I think, I should be among them, you are also in the navy, I think, you should understand how difficult it is to discipline a group of sailors without a captain!"
"Captain Brad, my brother's words, maybe you should think about it carefully, then you didn't go to such a big trouble to send us here, it wasn't for the purpose of executing us, if that was the case, you only had to stand by and be by your side when you were at sea, and you could have achieved this purpose!" Angel took a step forward, stood with Gavin, and said calmly to Brad.
Brad's eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation, these two brothers and sisters are much stronger than those guys outside, especially this Angel Cage, not only has a beautiful face, but also is smart and calm, which impresses him.
"It's good!" Brad took a step back: "I admit that what you say makes sense, but I can't do anything about this matter, I have to ask my chief, he's outside!" You still want him to be as good a talker as I am! ”
"Tony, please come over!" Brad shouted outside.
"What's going on, Brad!" Xu Qin followed the shouts outside and appeared outside the 'door': "Seeing the 'woman' can't move your feet?" Isn't this like you Brad? ”
Brad smiled, Xu Qin teased him, indicating that these days, the relationship between the two has made great progress, he didn't speak, got out of the way, and let Xu Qin walk in.
"Orientals!"
"Ming people?"
Angel and Gavin's exclamations sounded almost at the same time, and the sudden appearance of the Oriental face in front of them surprised them, when, the Spanish Far East Fleet, there were Oriental officers.
"No, you're not the Spanish Far East Fleet?" Gavin shouted as if he had seen a ghost, he was old after all, and he turned this bend in the light of light, and with the pride of the Spaniards, with the pride of the Spaniards, with the broom of the Spaniards, how could they let a man of Oriental descent take the position of captain or above.
"Captain Gavin, please pay attention to your demeanor, when did we say that we are from the Spanish Far East Fleet!" Brad looked at him with a narrowed gaze: "Could it be that you have suffered such a big defeat, and you haven't even figured out who your own opponent is?" ”
"Who the hell are you?" Gavin was a little distracted, his pride and his self-confidence, after the other party admitted that he was not a person from the Spanish Far East Fleet, he received a big blow, although the Ming General Zheng had the strength to defeat him, but his subordinates did not have a Spanish mercenary system, these people, what kind of characters, is it...... Pirate?
"Introduce yourself!" Xu Qin said coldly: "I am Xu Qin, the internal affairs of the Fengzi Battalion is the 'door' of the execution of the hundred households, Brad Baihu and his soldiers are subordinates of my Fengzi Battalion Teaching and Training Battalion!" Is there anything else you don't know? ”
